Authentication options
ESET Secure Authentication (ESA) provides several options for authenticating users to access computers or services protected by two-factor authentication.
•OTP (one time password) recieved via sms—requires SMS Credits or custom delivery utilizing a custom SMS gateway
•OTP generated via ESA mobile application
oEvent-based OTP (HOTP)—expires when used or when generating a new OTP
oTime-based OTP (TOTP)—expires within a few seconds (expiry animation displayed in the mobile application) even if not used
•Hard tokens, Time-Based Hard tokens
oHard tokens are the only available authentication option if ESA is used in an offline environment.
•OTP received via custom delivery option
•FIDO—only one FIDO authenticator can be registered per user
Reliability of SMS delivery Due to the technical nature of SMS messages, which are typically handled by local operators of telecommunication services, the reliability of SMS delivery to end-user mobile phone cannot be guaranteed by ESET. |
